MR GREGORY PORTER I COMMEND YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK AND CONTRIBUTIONS TO JAZZ AND SOUL . I HAVE TO SAY THIS WORLD IS LUCKY TO HAVE YOU. GOD BLESS YOU LIKE YOU LIKE YOU HAVE BLESSED ME 🙏
@@pauldavies9360 God gave them life. I'm agnostic but I've understood "God" as a way of referring to the "first source, the beginning, the shaper of the world, what makes everything move, etc". You could call it Nature, Universe, YWHH, Father, Order, Brahman, Allah, Tao, or simply don't give it a name at all. When you thank God you're appreciating everything. The fact that the musicians are alive, that I am alive, that I have the capacity to listen... and so on.
LOVE this man's music! On the first Saturday in January he performed live at my church for our monthly Jazz Vespers. The place was more packed than on a Sunday! My husband said it was the first time he ever saw me starstruck...and I took a photo with him! WHY isn't incredible music like this on radio instead of the crap that's played. Rhetorical question. Those with brains know why...Viva Gregory Porter!
If my interviewer ask me tomorrow why i didn't prepared myself i will show him this song and tell him that I've become an addict, all night listening to this over and over.. Gregory it's your fault for being so EARGAZMIC.. i just can't get enough of this.. DEEP SOUL BROTHER ! R.E.S.P.E.C.T.
discovered this song about a month ago, but it's more relevant now than ever, almost prophetic... you can play it in the background of all the footage. "the motor city is burning... pray god almighty it's burning! ain't no need for for sunlight, ain't no need for moonlight, ain't no need for streetlight, it's burning real bright.... some folks say we gonna fight, cuz this thing right here just ain't right"
me neither! and a new album to search. I'm still just trying to Be Good and finish my letter to Dear Laura but i could hear him all day *PS - Gregory is dropping a concert video on Monday check it
I believe this song won 1st place in the Jazz category in the last Int'l Songwriting Competition. I'm so glad I stumbled across it again so I can give a thumbs up to Mr. Porter.
@@iumahebert2882 I'm so sick of hearing the term trump's america, seriously you guys give that fucker way too much credit, he hasn't done shit, life has gone on as it always has
hey beagle - 10 yrs ago as earth wind & fire say stay young at heart. seen a probably spanish lady on 125 st today with a long eared beagle. got home turned on wbgo and 1st time hearing this.the answer is blowing in the wind as the entire unseeable air is 'atoms'. 8/31//23
thaw Bill Withers, George Benson and Marvin Gaye in one ! Not to talk about this super-tight band ! After years I had some discoveries of still existing music : TTB, Gregory Porter and some others...
True, just Coffee is great but music wise this is Ristretto pure ,undiluted, strong Like the TTB Midnight in Harlem I gladly accept it might hit ,and burn .... but this is the real thing
Music with meaning! God is good. It was an honor to have our sanctuary at St. Matthew's & St. Joseph's Episcopal Church (Detroit) featured in the video. This first African American Anglican/Episcopalian church in Michigan is an integral part of motor city history.
EnigmatcStatic 7, read my heart lo seven years before I knew what beat it would be beating. As the music progressed, the tears began to flow. The song tugs an old man's heart's strings, and his youth is reborn. Thanks, Rejj!
Heard this on a jazz segment on KJLH here in LA in a drive thru. I Soundhounded it immediately. Classic!! Excellent job Gregory Porter. Cannot stop listening to it
This song just goes to my heart and very inspiring and when people just have an opinion of not liking this song shame on them for not having soul and the heart. If you dislike thus video you have No heart or soul to this song. But to all who has a positive feeling about this God bless you. Thankfully music brings us together.
This was playing in a late night outdoor cocktail bar in Parga, Greece last week, Avocado. I sat there and couldn't stop movin, listening to this fabulous track, sinking my dump zombie.
Gregory Porter I can listen to his music all day. As far as the 172 thumbs down should view/listen to Gregory Porter's other songs to really appreciate his AWESOME talent
I can't wait to ce u in South Africa @ the Cape Town Jazz Festival 2013 spectacle....God bless u & keep you; you have power and drive in your voice that is unmatched!!!
Wow!! I'm speechless. The level of talent is immeasurable. I'm so proud of you Greg and such a fan. I heard your music for the first time today on Sirius satellite Real Jazz station. It is definitely that and then some!
This gives me the chilz. Brother Gregory nails it. Is the story of the guy getting shot for holding "3 pieces of black licorice" true? In any case it reminds of Trayvon Martin. And all the shootings lately.

i wonder who puts dislike on such a masterpiece
someone who's convicted by the lyric
lord future people have there own opinion, because its good to you doesn't mean someone else will like it
People that doesnt know much about music always hav a negative perception on classics...lil yatchy fans
lord future, still you can't control someone. they have there own taste and you have yours. everyone is different, its immature when people comment this stuff.
ok sean
This is Fela. This is Afro beat. Thank you Gregory Porter.
I personally feel this great man is not celebrated enough.
I agree sipho phasha

#GREGORYPORTER IS AMAZING!
Well, as of today he has won TWO GRAMMYS & has been NOMINATED for an additional TWO.
Amen brother!!

Literally the best intro to a song ever. Makes me shed tears of joy. This is music at its most beautiful. Thank God for musicians like this.....
EnigmatcStatic 7 Love you sister !
I think I recognize the bass line in the intro from another song, but can’t remember which.

The current burn in Minnesota brought me back to this song...
yup
i , by chance, discovered this clip, a few months before the minnesota thing blew up, but the lyrics are so poignant, aren't they?
I love the drums, horns section, strings section, piano, main vocals, background vocals, even lyrics. I love it all.
If my interviewer ask me tomorrow why i didn't prepared myself i will show him this song and tell him that I've become an addict, all night listening to this over and over..
Gregory it's your fault for being so EARGAZMIC.. i just can't get enough of this..
DEEP SOUL BROTHER !
R.E.S.P.E.C.T.
This is brand new to me in fall 2022 but looks and sounds like classic Motown soul
Man! has to be my fav track at the moment, can't get enough of it! 1960 What?
I *love* this guy. We don't hear nearly enough about him, here.
Hey coffee girl. Yeah he's good, coming London in March, gotta see him live!
My word, after all these years. Still slaps like it's brand new😎❤️🎉. Truly a masterpiece
Just hearing this in 2024, and you are right, still!
incredible jazz/soul singer and a true ambassador
this is true music with origin roots! absolute masterpiece
2020 What? Time for a re-release.
I just discovered this man 2 months ago, he is frigging Amazing!!
Old school with a new age flavor,genuis!!

I love Gregory Porter. Greetings from Portugal 🇵🇹. 😘
Consider me a new and forever supporter of this man, great music like this warms my heart and makes me glad to be alive.
Grammys 2014: Best Jazz Vocal Album: "Liquid Spirit," Gregory Porter
Walter Wilkins I didn't know that. Thanx brother !
me neither! and a new album to search. I'm still just trying to Be Good and finish my letter to Dear Laura but i could hear him all day *PS - Gregory is dropping a concert video on Monday check it
Even more relevant today.
Loved this. Remined me of my youth when you could get good jazz on the radio any time.
I believe this song won 1st place in the Jazz category in the last Int'l Songwriting Competition. I'm so glad I stumbled across it again so I can give a thumbs up to Mr. Porter.
My hometown. I was 9 when the Motor CIty Burned in 1967. Tanks rolling right past my house. #memories. Love the song and the vid
Venus Theus I love you my brother !
This is awesome! the jazz still alive people...
Cannot begin to describe how many times I listen to this song in a day.
After last night's events in the US there is a somewhat different feeling when you listen to this song. It's 2014 but the society still needs change.
Alexander Gerbov cut to 2018 and trumps America...
@@iumahebert2882 I'm so sick of hearing the term trump's america, seriously you guys give that fucker way too much credit, he hasn't done shit, life has gone on as it always has

Gregory is a true artist and the video is terrific.
Carolyn Spilly I am an artist, so I fully concur.

Wow, jazz is back in my life, where has this guy been! Blown away! Peace&Love
Wow. Such a chill beat and a killer singer! This is music right here ya'll! Natural and smooth.
upholstery1995 Right on !
Exquisite protest song! Gregory. Porter is leading the revival of jazz vocals in contemporary music. Bring our art form home Gregory.
I just love this great man i have all of his albums i love running to his songs xx
1960s events are just as prevalent today as ever in this song sets a perfect example of that... LUVIT!
thaw Bill Withers, George Benson and Marvin Gaye in one ! Not to talk about this super-tight band ! After years I had some discoveries of still existing music : TTB, Gregory Porter and some others...
True, just Coffee is great but music wise this is Ristretto pure ,undiluted, strong Like the TTB Midnight in Harlem I gladly accept it might hit ,and burn .... but this is the real thing
This is awesome work I could listen all day everyday,I here something different in each song.
Saw him live in New York, this guy is full of Rhymes and Grooves! Love it.
Saw him live a few years ago - the best live male vocal performance I have ever seen.
Real music. Thank you for keeping it alive.
Still slaps,my dad played this song to me for the first time years ago and today I’m playing it to my daughter 😍
Give this man his flowers argh!!!
1st time hearing this , told commenter ' beagle ' same thing. what does ' argh ' mean??
The best of me !!
Pure bliss, poetry and melody for the soul, just incredible soundscapes from an unsung hero and talent. Cheers from Maryland.
Such a powerful song!
when the record ends we must begin again.
Wolfgang Mueller Yeeesssss!
from my very own hometown of bakersfield ca. we love him..
what a tune. Gregory Porter is cool as like.
J'adore. Grand monsieur.
Sensational. Love the piano, the brass triplets in the chorus, the ride cymbal and wow......what a voice!.
Very talented Joseph Porter not heard enough and diamond in todays music 🎶
Great song and singer
This song has a particularly strong arrangement and sense of musicality. I believe the emotional message accounts for this. It's good.
Music with meaning! God is good. It was an honor to have our sanctuary at St. Matthew's & St. Joseph's Episcopal Church (Detroit) featured in the video. This first African American Anglican/Episcopalian church in Michigan is an integral part of motor city history.
hypnotized!! Beautiful over and over again!
The music, the video, the artist, the MAN!! Just perfect!!!!
His style reminds me of Gil Scott, thier songs have a message. I truly feel that he is very talented and I would love to see him in concert.

Ain't no need for the Sun light!
Awesome.. Proper tune👏👌
Great God Almighty👏🏾
This brother got a good soul and is the best in this generation.

If you dislike thus video you have No heart or soul to this song. But to all who has a positive feeling about this God bless you. Thankfully music brings us together.
As a people we have to continually do the work even though we don't yet see a glimmer on the horizon that it's actually going to be possible.
I love introducing this brilliant singer to a newbie and then watch their jaw drop. That never gets old for me...brilliant artist!
